Went to shoot a local band as a favour to family. Very small venu, were stood a couple of feet from the band. So decided to take the Sigma 10-20mm, wish I had taken the 24 -70mm as well. Am impressed with the High ISO shot's though.

They look young ! Yep I'm mightily impressed with the K5 high ISO too. It's bloody brilliant to use TAv, select my preferred shutter speed and aperture and let the K5 take care of the ISO (up to the limit I've set).

Good shots - I think, like you, that the 24-70 would have done a good job here.

As Churchill would say.... Oh Yes!

Have just had a suggestion passed on to me for underexposing by a couple of stops on the K5 when shooting RAW then adjusting the exposure later, going to try it as soon as I get the opportunity.
If it works then that could push shutter speeds or apertures values even further.

I love the perspective of using the 10-20 at close range. And the images are great for such extremely high ISOs.... They could almost do with MORE noise!
